3 Weeks Later

Katerina

I stood from the bed as Gabriel walked in, the yelling from upstairs still going on. I wrapped my arms around his waist as his own wrapped around my shoulders. There was a sound of horses as the front door shut. I took a step away from Gabriel as he looked down at me, saying, "What happened up there, love?" He pressed a quick kiss to my lips before going to bed and sitting on it as I got a rag from the basin. As I was wringing out the rag, he said, "My step-witches have just gone, I'm assuming. But, Ella managed to restore one of our mother's old dresses. I ran off when Stepmother saw her. I came straight here."

I sat on his lap as I began to clean the dirt off of his face. I pushed his vest off of his shoulders before pulling his shirt off. I saw the dirt on his arms and held back a sigh as I ran the rag over his biceps as I said, "I know you get hot out there in the sun, but do you have to take your shirt off? You know that your stepsisters can't take their off of you when you do that." He looked up at me as I tossed the rag to the other side of the room. I felt him start to undo the front of my dress as he lay on his bed, bringing me with him.

Ella

I stood outside of the carriage as I slipped on the glass slippers. I was about to step in when Gabriel came to mind. "What about my brother?" Fairy Godmother looked at me as she said, "He'll be fine. Katerina is here. But, you need to bring-" I held out my hand as she waved her wand. "-this. Your father's will. Don't worry. Just bring it." I stepped into the carriage after she told me that the spell would end at midnight and I was off. I'm going the ball.

Katerina

I lay on the bed as Gabriel kissed down my neck and to my stomach as my back arched. He brought his lips to mine as he used his legs to open my own. He pulled away and looked down at me as I traced his features with my thumb. He pushed into me gently as I gripped the pillow that was underneath my head.

I laid my head on Gabriel's chest as his arm was in the dip of my waist. I closed my eyes as the sound of rain became audible. I felt Gabriel press his lips against the top of my head as I fell asleep.
